Major Changes
While this story is only to implement whitening, we opted to refactor it to improve flexibility such that it can handle per-dataset standard scaling, which is necessary to implement future preprocessing steps more easily.
Notably, we allow transforms to be mutated after the dataset has been constructed. Therefore, transforms that depend on the dataset, can fit on the dataset, then append itself onto the dataset, which is fitting for any scaling preprocessing step.
In our PR, we added
ImageStandardScaler
, a flexible StandardScaler for images, with helper functions to deal with nested Images. It can fit onto the dataset after initialization, by sampling it then evaluating the stdev and mean. After, it is able to be fit into the augmentation transforms as a final step.
